College Application Day Materials

Across the state, schools will be hosting College Application Days where all seniors are encouraged to complete at least one college application. Remember, that can be any education you'll need after you graduate: two- or four-year college, an apprenticeship, a workforce certificate to work in your field, etc.

Although the suggested date is October 28, College Application Day can be different at your school. Remember, however, that many Indiana colleges have November 1 as their priority date for full scholarship consideration.

Please use the resources below to assist your College Application Day planning. Materials can be edited with your school's specific information. Questions? We'd love to hear from you at info@che.in.gov.
